Tanya Greig is a mother of 2 and works in school administration. She has been a Christian all her life and served in various roles including religious instruction in schools. At 36 she was diagnosed with breast cancer that began a 7-year journey into deep relationship with God.
In part 2 of this episode, we hear how Tanya's journey with cancer led her through multiple treatments and surgeries. Even after she lost and regained the ability to walk, her faith in God has continued to grow, as He led her through every trial. We discuss the surprise it still is when God shows us even a tiny portion of the love He has for us, and our very human response to His generosity.

We begin to tease out the conflict between our reliance on the body for this life and our trust in God who sustains it and uses it for His eternal purpose.

The Gospel According to Mum - Season 4: Your Story, God’s Glory

Welcome to Season 4 of The Gospel According to Mum, the show where we discuss the transformational work done in us by Jesus Christ as we live out motherhood and discipleship with him. Our season opens with two wonderful testimonies from Jodie McIver and Tanya Greig. These personal stories illustrate what it means to be a disciple of Christ as they acknowledge both His ultimate sovereignty and authority and lay out what it means to follow Him at all cost.
As ever, we need women like you and the mighty women of God you know to share their stories and help us all to grow and flourish in Christ. To find holiness in the mundane and see with God's eyes the greater purpose of our lives. Don't ever feel your story is too small. Just remember who wrote it. As Tanya Greig so perfectly says: Your story is His glory. And, at the end of the day, it's just a chat with me, your host, Tanya Reason. Find out more about how you can share and engage with the show and this community of disciples at www.thegospelaccordingtomum.com

The Gospel According to Mum Episode 13 Part 2 - The hidden chambers of the heart with Mariana Yepes

Mariana Yepes is a married mother of two children under 5 years old. Originally from Colombia, she comes from a Catholic background but is the first in her immediate family to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. A driven, career woman and high achiever, Mariana never believed that it would take her 7 years to conceive. After she and her husband were finally blessed with two children in 18 months, she was even more surprised to find that she was not only compelled to become a stay-at-home mother but is also contemplating home-schooling long-term.​
In part 2 of this episode, Mariana and I discuss how, in our exuberance of new faith, we pray bold prayers and make big promises to God. And then, as we become mothers, we realise the length and breadth of all we hold back from the Lord. We discuss how moralising to our children reveals our unconscious hypocrisy even further as they see all that we do and say. Even so, the great patience and love of our Lord is made evident as He walks through it all with us, gently helping us to learn and grow.
